Feminist Academics: Creative Agents for Change.
Morley, Louise, Ed.; Walsh, Val, Ed.
This collection of 13 essays and 1 poem demonstrates how feminist analysis of the micropolitics of British higher education in terms of power, policies, discourses, curriculum, pedagogy, and intra- and interpersonal relationships provides a framework for deprivatizing women's experiences and influencing change. It includes: (1) "Troubling Transformations: Gender Regimes and Organizational Culture in the Academy" (Celia Davies and Penny Holloway); (2) "Black Women as the 'Other' in the Academy" (Naz Rassool); (3) "Irrigating the Sacred Grove: Stages of Gender Equity Development" (Barbara Brown Packer); (4) "In Our (New) Right Minds: The Hidden Curriculum of The Academy" (Debbie Epstein); (5) "Ivory Towers: Life in the Mind" (Mary Evans); (6) "Transgression and the Academy: Feminists and Institutionalization" (Val Walsh); (7) "'Out of the Blood and Spirit of Our Lives': The Place of the Body in Academic Feminism" (Tracey Potts and Janet Price); (8) "Measuring the Muse: Feminism, Creativity, and Career Development in Higher Education" (Louise Morley); (9) "The Good Witch: Advice to Women in Management" (Lesley Kerman); (10) "Black Women in Higher Education: Defining a Space/Finding a Place" (Heidi Safia Mirza); (11) "Taking Offence: Research as Resistance to Sexual Harassment in Academia" (Avril Butler and Mel Landells); (12) "Pain(t) for Healing: The Academic Conference and the Classed/Embodied Self" (Jo Stanley); (13) "My Mother's Voice? On Being 'A Native in Academia'" (Liz Stanley); and (14) "Grievance" (Dinah Dossor). Each essay contains a reference list. (MDM)
